IBM Data Risk Manager Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution

Description

IBM Data Risk Manager (IDRM) contains three vulnerabilities that can be chained by an unauthenticated attacker to achieve remote code execution as root. The first is an unauthenticated bypass, followed by a command injection as the server user, and finally abuse of an insecure default password. This module exploits all three vulnerabilities, giving the attacker a root shell. At the time of disclosure this was an 0day, but it was later confirmed and patched by IBM. The authentication bypass works on versions <= 2.0.6.1, but the command injection should only work on versions <= 2.0.4 according to IBM.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/linux/http/ibm_drm_rce
msf exploit(ibm_drm_rce) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(ibm_drm_rce) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(ibm_drm_rce) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(ibm_drm_rce) > exploit

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
